Having problems with your Dell XPS M1530 Notebook ?

I have a Dell XPS M1530 and it will not power up. I push the power button and the blue light goes on for 3-5 seconds and then goes off. Power is entering laptop and battery is fully charged but nothing goes on.

Answers :

This is either a motherboard, AC or battery problem. Isolate it by removing all attached devices, then emove the battery and power on the computer with just the AC adapter. If that does not work, remove try to use another AC, and another battery. if using another AC and another battery does not work, run the diagnostics on the dell laptop. press and hold the FN key, then press the power button. see if that will give you any error and take note if any of the lock lights will come up and/or blink.
